I've got a mental list in my head of like 4 things I need to do. 2 are time-sensitive. 2 are things that would make me feel better to do. 2 would improve things.

I'm scrolling on Lemmy. And adding things to my mental to do list.

Union scale and exposure if you don't want to read. The article only hypes up the successful exposure, not the trainwrecks.

It's not clear It's a lynching and not the result of a guilty conscience. Evidently hangings in MS are more often suicide instead of murder /s

  • at least according to the law enforcement speaking to the local news

I read Bill Browder's Red Notice about how he and others went in after the fall of the USSR. It explains very well how a former superpower was picked apart and the choice bits divvied up to make some future oligarchs very very incomprehensibly rich and powerful. Granted, it was a unique situation at the time since the USSR owned everything and they attempted to "give it back to the people."

It's scary. It's not dry nonfiction. And some of the rich people he learned from, met, and has some insight on, are quite interesting in hindsight. (Ghislaine's father, and Khashoggi family come to mind off the top of my head.)

But between the monopolies and current government trying to control things (like the Tiktok deal, and taking 10% of what was it, Intel?) There's a consolidation of wealth and power happening out in the open.

Maybe spend the money to send US workers to Korean factories to train them?

I think what will happen is no orders = no crops. They'll grow something else or nothing else. And that'll create a scarcity or perception of scarcity.

But maybe I'm wrong and some things will get cheaper, or at least not more expensive.

I think she was mostly raised by her mom, Marla Maples

 

This is not a complaint, but a commentary on how I've been trying to get it to be more commonplace to talk about. Like the weather or a new hobby, lol

I've had a more social month. Was having lunch with my boomer uncle and he asked how menopause was going. He meant it in a very sincere way, and he shared some of what he remembered from when my aunt was going through it. He was glad the progesterone is helping my night terrors.

I was telling my husband about Naomi Watt's book, and he was getting angry on our behalf at some of the stories. He's planning to listen to the audiobook too. I'm likeing her book, it's kind of a cliff note version of all the books, along with a lot of personal stories from lot's of women.

My sons (step) and dad (before he passed) have been part of the conversation as well.

Which I'm realizing it sounds like I'm just around men, but I've talked to my sister-in-law and female friends and relatives too. I'm just around the men in my life quite often. My "found aunties" are also starting to check in about it too. They are 3 sisters in their 70s and 2 went through forced menopause because of breast cancer and are still hesitant about HRT after those studies. And they were brought up to not talk about it.
